Guide
What a color preview tool is for
Hex codes are hard to picture. A color preview tool turns a value like #7C3AED into an actual block of color you can see, alongside its RGB and HSL equivalents — so you can sanity-check a color before you commit it to a design, and copy whichever format your code needs.
How to use it
- Type or paste a HEX value into any card — it previews live.
- Add more cards to compare several colors side by side.
- Use Random on a card for quick inspiration.
- Expand details to see RGB, HSL, CMYK and contrast for each.
- Export the set as JSON to reuse later.
Previewing vs. picking vs. converting
Reach for the color pickerwhen you don't have a value yet and want to choose one visually; the format converter when you have a value and need every format at once; and this preview when you want to see one or more known colors together and copy their codes.

Frequently asked questions
